Enterprise Technology Operations (ETO) is a Business Unit within Core Engineering focused on running scalable production management services with a mandate of operational excellence and operational risk reduction achieved through large scale automation, best-in-class engineering, and application of data science and machine learning. The Production Runtime Experience (PRX) team in ETO applies software engineering and machine learning to production management services, processes, and activities to streamline monitoring, alerting, automation, and workflows.
The Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence team in PRX applies advanced ML and GenAI to reduce the risk and cost of operating the firmâ_x0080__x0099_s large-scale compute infrastructure and extensive application estate. Building on strengths in statistical modelling, anomaly detection, predictive modelling, and time-series forecasting, we leverage foundational LLM Models to orchestrate multi-agent systems for automated production management services. By unifying classical ML with agentic AI, we deliver reliable, explainable, and cost-efficient operations at scale.
In this role, you will be responsible for launching and implementing GenAI agentic solutions aimed at reducing the risk and cost of managing large-scale production environments with varying complexities. You will address various production runtime challenges by developing agentic AI solutions that can diagnose, reason, and take actions in production environments to improve productivity and address issues related to production support.
What youâ_x0080__x0099_ll do:
â_x0080_¢ Build agentic AI systems: Design and implement tool-calling agents that combine retrieval, structured reasoning, and secure action execution (function calling, change orchestration, policy enforcement) following MCP protocol. Engineer robust guardrails for safety, compliance, and least-privilege access.
â_x0080_¢ Productionize LLMs: Build evaluation framework for open-source and foundational LLMs; implement retrieval pipelines, prompt synthesis, response validation, and self-correction loops tailored to production operations
â_x0080_¢ Integrate with runtime ecosystems: Connect agents to observability, incident management, and deployment systems to enable automated diagnostics, runbook execution, remediation, and post-incident summarization with full traceability.
â_x0080_¢ Collaborate directly with users: Partner with production engineers, and application teams to translate production pain points into agentic AI roadmaps; define objective functions linked to reliability, risk reduction, and cost; and deliver auditable, business-aligned outcomes.
â_x0080_¢ Safety, reliability, and governance: Build validator models, adversarial prompts, and policy checks into the stack; enforce deterministic fallbacks, circuit breakers, and rollback strategies; instrument continuous evaluations for usefulness, correctness, and risk.
â_x0080_¢ Scale and performance: Optimize cost and latency via prompt engineering, context management, caching, model routing, and distillation; leverage batching, streaming, and parallel tool-calls to meet stringent SLOs under real-world load.
â_x0080_¢ Build a RAG pipeline: Curate domain-knowledge; build data-quality validation framework; establish feedback loops and milestone framework maintain knowledge freshness.
â_x0080_¢ Raise the bar: Drive design reviews, experiment rigor, and high-quality engineering practices; mentor peers on agent architectures, evaluation methodologies, and safe deployment patterns.
A Bachelorâ_x0080__x0099_s degree (Masters/ PhD preferred) in a computational field (Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Engineering, or in a related quantitative discipline), with 5+ years of experience as an applied data scientist / machine learning engineer.
â_x0080_¢ 2+ years of software development in one or more languages (Python, C/C++, Go, Java); strong hands-on experience building and maintaining large-scale Python applications preferred.
â_x0080_¢ 1+ years building production ML systems, including model deployment/serving, evaluation and monitoring, data processing pipelines, and model fine-tuning workflows.
â_x0080_¢ Practical experience with Large Language Models (LLMs): API integration, prompt engineering, fine-tuning/adaptation, and building applications using RAG and tool-using agents (vector retrieval, function calling, secure tool execution).
â_x0080_¢ Understanding of different LLMs, both commercial and open source, and their capabilities (e.g., OpenAI, Gemini, Llama, Qwen, Claude).
â_x0080_¢ Solid grasp of applied statistics, core ML concepts, algorithms, and data structures to deliver efficient and reliable solutions.
â_x0080_¢ Strong analytical problem-solving, ownership, and urgency; ability to communicate complex ideas simply and collaborate effectively across global teams with a focus on measurable business impact.
â_x0080_¢ Preferred: Proficiency building and operating on cloud infrastructure (ideally AWS), including containerized services (ECS/EKS), serverless (Lambda), data services (S3, DynamoDB, Redshift), orchestration (Step Functions), model serving (SageMaker), and infra-as-code (Terraform/CloudFormation).
